A photograph of a ribbon-cutting at a newly opened glass-fronted shop. A smiling man with long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi, an orange sleeveless robe with a gold-bordered wrap and a beaded necklace stands near a green ribbon stretched across the entrance. A woman in a pink and white sari and an older man in white clothes stand beside him, and a man in white holds the ribbon side. Garlands of white, yellow and red flowers hang above the doorway. The page indicates a showroom inauguration; the robed man's appearance with long hair, orange robe and gold-bordered wrap is a probable match to Swamiji (probable).
